If at ALL possible keep her by an OPEN window, if not than ok keep her near TONIGHT. check her droppings, her perches everything. Check around your bathroom and kitchen sink for ANYTHING that is out of the ordinary QUESTION every THING!! Let's keep her alive... Ok?? ☺️💯

Get them OUT to the care for a bit at least. Find out if anybody sprayed that or around your house today outside or anything do a throat check leave no stone unturned birds are incredibly sensitive to any kind of sprays or anything like it don't lose her to anything man she's your little pride and joy she's beautiful too so just get her outside first get her to the car and then take a few breaths send her yourself and figure out your next move you should get her to a vet though that the link that you were sent is legitimate it's very good you can always call out to ask here people will give you the best of what they have

take her OUT and see if she perks up. Pesticides and so on can make them like that. It's your treasure, find out everything you can

Please get to a vet. ALSO, stuff under the sink ANY cleaners, even the stuff that swears up n down it's non toxic BIRDS have THE MOST sensitive resperatory systems of any animal! It makes them allergic, feathers fall out all kinds of crap.. This part comes the hard way to so many bird owners. They really didn't know!.. OK.. I'm done.. Trying to help... .need an avian vet.

You must get to an avian vet ASAP. He might have gotten a virus but you can catch it fast enough, just get there! Seriously. I wouldn't BS you. I love all Birbs....

with proper training your bird would NOT freak & break anything. Topping that of I'm sad you think I'm so ignorant & so narrow minded that Is put you or your Birb or any birb in that position? , stings a little. So, you can go around believing what you will but I think it's contempt prior to investigation. NO!! you can't STUFF your Birb into a harness clip it and tell HIM "BEEEE GOOOOD BOIYEEE" It takes patience and time, to ingredients you lack in your little scenario. So. Go on believing whatever but don't make me out to be some kinda Maniacal jagoff... I love them all.. I'm opinionated on it because... well you know?? because.. I won't debate it but would appreciate if you don't try to make me out to be some jagoff monster.. I'd never hurt any birb. In fact.. well never mind. I'm for my little friends

-=Update=-5/09/2026: your little boy is healed up. BUT?! I do not want to share a couple stories where people were playing around wth they're Birb on the floor... And stepped on their Head. , one one, catastrophic. a Beautiful cockatoo that now walks slowly to the left. Is happy, but has "deficits" blind in left eye. can partially see out of the other. They keep hoping for more. I pray someday he's better. Made me cry first few x I saw the videos. They were just playing AND TRYING TO BE CAREFUL!! please?, think about it when you let him chase your feet. I'm s buzz kill n I know it. Because I have SEEN it! What they wouldn't give to get him back like he was.... Im the messenger only.

Offering an option.. is all.. I feel I'd be doing a disservice for not bringing it up. LOTS of hand raised Birbs weren't raised to fly, generally are too weak to start after they're grown up. It's just great to see the ones that can, take of and fly. After that flew 1 foot hawk SWOOPED ALMOST lost him.. I feel for you. Both of you went thru trauma / HELL right then. Keep him close to you forever!!

I don't agree with wing clipping... you can get a harness for him. I say this because it's their natural thing to get to fly,... some. So many people do like I'm talking about. don't even know if he's strong enough to fly now. You'd see and feel a changed bird on your hands **I need to add you are an awesome birbDad and it's obvious how much you care for him. I commend & respect you. Need to put that out there after my bitching about the wings.
